I have a website that I wish to add a mobile redirect to. I purchased a php script from detectmobilebrowsers -dot- com. My site is done in html/css and I do not understand php. No matter what device (desktop or mobile) I want them to go to the main address (eg. mycompany.com). If they are on a desktop, I want them redirected to mycompany.com/index2.html. If they are on a mobile, I want them redirected to mycompany.com/mobile/ Is anyone familiar with how the script I mentioned earlier works? If so, a quick and simple would be extremely appreciated! This site is hosted on a hostgator shared plan if that matters.

It's not .com ... but here's the real address (OK to post on WDF):
http://detectmobilebrowsers.mobi/

I think you just have your main website, and everyone goes there.
If they are using a mobile browser, they are re-directed to the mobile
browser pages. I don't think you need another separate index2.html page
for the desktop users.

Keep your original site as-is, and make separate pages for the mobile users.

Here's the catch ...
If we knew what your original site was, we might be able to help better.
We don't know how many pages you have, and if your site is done with CSS files?
It's possible this could be easier than you think.

I'm not sure if any of us can deal with the "detectmobilebrowsers" script unless
we pay for it. So that might be hard for us to offer any examples, unless someone
else has used it (I have not).

Give us the URL to your existing site.

You should never redirect desktop users. Only mobile users. Otherwise, you could potentially kill your SEO.

I think that script needs to be on a php and not on an html file? You should let the desktop users go to your .com and redirect the mobile users. There are also other options out there for mobile sites.

just rename your html file .php and make sure your host supports php...and your ready to use php! :O

you can also lookup 'javascript user agent redirect' or something to that matter if you want to use javascript to redirect (although im not sure all mobiles have javascript)

You will also need to put the include script inside a php tag also make sure you have uploaded the mobile detect php file if it's in a different directory then you need to change the path.

<?php include('mobile_device_detect.php');
$mobile = mobile_device_detect(); ?>
